Hey guys, in this video I do some maintenance on my Minelab Excalibur II. I replace the stock knobs with Anderson knobs and I also replace the seals around the knobs. Ever think about adding custom vinyl decals to your machine? Me too! So I did that in this video too. Enjoy!
Gear:

you was so convincing with clear instructions I went out and bought an Excalibur that I will never use. BUGGER!

What a wonderful instructional video for changing out your replacement knobs! Thanks She Detector, catch you on the next!

Awesome! I love it when women learn how to maintain equipment and decide what materials are going to work for the best outcome. There's also quite a few guys that need to learn it also. Great video of a cleaning and checking the serviceability. Now let's see how ringer does all decked out in the new gear!

I lost a knob for mine a week ago, and who do I see for the first recommendation to fix it? SHE DETECTOR! I was not disappointed.

Wow it's really cool to hear you talk about set screws Allen wrenches that's pretty good! To get your lettering to stay in place I would probably go over it with a clear spray sealer and that way the edges are sealed so that it won't peel up. And if you just want to you could also use a really good enamel nail polish over them to keep them in place. Or you can just leave from them like they are, and yes they will peel off!

Hahahaha! Yea, I could add the sealer over top. That's a good idea! :D

Thanks for the latest video. Ringer's new knobs are definitely an upgrade to the original knobs. Cool decals too!!! I hope Ringer appreciates the maintenance/upgrade that you did ;-)

As usual, another great video. Love the lettering. I only have one small suggestion, Don't be afraid of hurting the threads in the knobs. They are brass and are stronger than the little allen wrench. The reason the wrench has a short and long arm is so you can get it snug with the long arm then put the short arm in and get some leverage to tighten the screw. If you don't, you could lose one of the knobs when the screws loosen up. I have been a machinist for 50 years and worked with this kind of stuff every day. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing.

The blue, 4 "wall" thingy can come out complete now. The NUT is used to cause the 4 "wall" thingy to draw UP into the knob and cinch down on the shaft.

Would you mind doing a quick video on what to do if the bottom part, connected to your coil, comes apart from the top part? For some reason the button just isn't happening and it's driving me nuts...

Thanks Tony! I figured I had a 50/50 shot of ruining my machine. Lol! Now I need to get a move on and get that switch mod. Haha! I might look at headphones first though. Those stock ones are getting annoying because they don't go small enough for my tiny head. You do headphone mods too right? I can't remember.

Tell ya what. If you can get by without her for a week or so, send me your “Ringer” and your Anderson handle and I’ll hook you up with my custom remote pinpoint switch and my awesome headphones. (They’ll look great on you😄). I’ll make you an offer which’ll be really hard to refuse. Email me for the details.

🤔 screw fixing Knob, are screws metalic? Ferrous + salt water is not a good combination, maybe become melted to pin due to oxidation, check it out frequently, or can become dificult to remove after some months.

Should remove the set screws and use some anti seize or a dab of waterproof grease on the set screws as they can seize up after time and you can strip them when trying to remove them later on.

The silicone spray is good but would probably be better to lightly coat the "O" ring with something like Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

@frankstith7800 5 жыл бұрын

William Baker, never use petroleum based ointments on “O” rings made from rubber because the rubber will stretch... I found out the hard way on a rubber gasket (large “O” ring) for my household water filter. I had to buy another gasket and this time use some light weight silicone grease.
